Of all the birds that come to our homes each year, the blue jay is perhaps the most difficult for us to understand. While it is true that such insect pests as the wood-boring beetle, grasshoppers, eggs of the wvarious caterpillars, make up about one- fifth of his daily meals, the blue jay is also accountable for the loss of many of the more useful birds whose beauty and value make our world a much happier place to live in. How can one kind of bird be all these things? The answer may easily be found in the records of the National Wildlife Federation, which has carefully charted the his- tory, growth and habits of Amer- ica’'s birds and wild animals, so that we may have a better under- standing of both the two and four footed friends whom we see from time to time each day. A resident of the Eastern United States and Southern Canada, and who is quite often seen as far west as the Dakotas, Colorado and even Texas, the blue jay actually has two personalities. He is cautious and silent in his own home, or nest, but once away from his own home and family, he is noisy and He will cry “Robber!” for the slightest cause. That cause is generally himself, as the broken eggs of the nests of other birds will grimly testify. During his mating season, he steals unmercifully from other 'birds, thus depriving us of other members of the feathered legion who could and would do us a lot more good than the blue jay himself. About three-fourths of his daily meal is composed of vegetables, This does not mean spinach, string beans and other table greens, but more likely acorns, chestnuts, end of his tail the blue jay is about 11 1/2 inches long. He is a pretty brilliant blue of wing and tail, and these colors are combined with the black crescent of the up- per breast and the crested head. He is a fast flyer and has actually been known to swoop down and at- tack his greatest enemy, the cat.
